Duration of developmental phases, and dynamics of leaf appearance and tilleri...
Variation in photoperiod sensitivity in wheat plays a major role in the crop adaptation to wide agronomic environments. Photoperiod insensitivity is provided by Ppd-Aa, Ppd-B1a... -
BED-domain-containing immune receptors confer diverse resistance spectra to y...
Crop diseases reduce wheat yields by ~25% globally and thus pose a major threat to global food security1. Genetic resistance can reduce crop losses in the field and can be... -
Current and possible approaches for improving photosynthetic efficiency
One of the most important tasks laying ahead today’s biotechnology is to improve crop productivity with the aim of meeting increased food and energy demands of humankind. Plant... -
Fine mapping of Aegilops peregrina co-segregating leaf and stripe rust resist...
Aegilops peregrina, a wild tetraploid relative of wheat with genome constitution UUSS, displays genetic variation for resistance to leaf and stripe (yellow) rust. The wheat Ae.... -
The use of quantitative imaging to investigate regulators of membrane traffic...
Expansion of gene families facilitates robustness and evolvability of biological processes but impedes functional genetic dissection of signalling pathways. To address this,...
